Question : How can I cleanse crystal meth out of my system in 24 hours
Brief Answer:
Depends on how long have been using and the amount.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
How long it takes for methamphetamine to clear from your system depends on a number of factors including how long you have been using it, the amount, and in what form.
For example, snorting usually takes 1- 4 days for methamphetamine to leave your system. Smoking crystal meth can take from 3 - 5 days to leave your system. With IV crystal meth, it stays in the system for at least 72 hours.
Crystal meth is biochemically considered a weak base, so weak acids like vitamin C may facilitate it's clearing out: http://tmedweb.tulane.edu/pharmwiki/doku.php/ph_effect_on_drug_elimination
However how quickly it clears out ultimately depends on the factors mentioned above.
As you likely know, crystal meth is a very harmful drug to your body, and usually to the overall well being of your life and relationships as well. Best to seek treatment for using - it is hard to get off of it on your own. Consider going to an addictions clinic for help. Your life will be better for it.
Wishing you well.
